Hi Geoff,
As you already indicated, version 8.6.7 is pretty old now, so it’s difficult to guess what might have gone wrong. Feel free to share with us if you can reproduce the behavior with the latest version.
Best, Christian

We have a BaseX application that uses the BaseX REST API. A number of GET requests are failing with an HTTP 400 Bad Request response. Looking at the BaseX logs, I find that BaseX is internally throwing java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException for these HTTP 400 Bad Request failures:

I realize that BaseX 8.6.7 is somewhat old. I can look at upgrading to a more recent version if necessary. But before I do that, I'd like to know if the java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is a known problem and more importantly if there is anything we can do short of upgrading BaseX to fix the problem.
